After arresting a teenager who's been left to take the rap for a murder by his fellow gang members, Hooker discovers that the youth is hearing impaired. Convinced of the boy's innocence and that his membership in the gang is a cry for help, Hooker and Romano try to help the youth's hearing problems and to root out the real culprits behind the drugs-related killing. But Hooker can't help the teenager unless the boy is first willing to help himself... Add a recap »

- Cruz: Are you crazy, Hooker? You almost killed us, man!
Hooker: With a gutless polla like you in the car? Wasn't even close. edit » - Hooker: We got two things to get done: one is to clear up the killing and get you out from under it, despite your misplaced macho gang honor, and the other is to have someone take a look at your hearing problem.
Danny: Man, I hear good enough, all right?
Hooker: And you got a straight and narrow to walk while all that's getting done because you stray one inch off the path, and I personally will take you over to Judge Wallace. You got it?
Danny: Yeah, man.
Hooker: "Yeah, man" what?
Danny: Yeah man, sir.
Hooker: Now you got it. edit » - Hooker: You're too sensitive, Romano. All I said was if I had a partner who wore an earring, she'd be a lot prettier than you!
Romano: It's not an earring.
Hooker: Do you or do you not have a gold bauble in your ear?
Romano: I have a gold pin in my ear, placed there by an accredited acupuncturist. edit » - (to the killer)
Hooker: You just got knocked off your horse, cowboy—For good. edit » - (questioning a suspect)
Danny: I don't know where no gun is at. I didn't shoot nobody, man.
Hooker: You sound like a parrot, Danny. Un papgayo.
Danny: Look, I ain't no parrot, right!
Romano: Then stop talking like one. edit »
